Galactic Empire ClevelanD: Midwest thread titles are f-ing sad

Hey Chris, got your message, just been really busy with work and planning the wedding. I’ll try to stop by one of these days :). And yeah any kind of CC in a Capcom game usually becomes broken. Keits has an interview with Wizard on the front page, Wiz got to test the final build - he said he could only get a max combo of 5 hits in her CC mode, but I wonder what people will discover once they really dig into it.

Cool, yeah, I know you have a lot going on, just seeing that’s up. Game night is every two weeks now – just lemme know if you think you can make one, or we could just get a drink or something if you have an off night. They have an NBA Jam TE up on some crazy projector setup at Hairy Buffalo in Lakewood, haha, we were talking about meeting up there on a Friday …

P.S. anyone play this cool Treasure fighting game for Genesis: [media=youtube]9YSwiXw7Yr4[/media] (Yu Yu Hakusho)? I have a flash cart so we can play it on the Genesis. I wanna give it a shot.

hell yea harry buffalo in lakwood. custom 4p sticks hooked up to a vizio flat panel. i think its a dollar to play. im down to meet up there.

Ehh…is it a big deal to just have other people bring the consoles and shit? I would only think the person hosting needs a roof and a tv.

As long as people don’t mind bringing a console and some sticks I’m down. Hit me up with a PM and we can figure something out, perhaps even this weekend coming up.

Chris,

He ended up only selling one and I bought it. Only problem is I think the the power supply is bad. I was wondering can I hook up with you or the guy that helps you with your machine to check it out before I shock myself to death?

Also, can I borrow one of your cheap jamma boards to use as a tester?

Well while not trash not that great either I suggest Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2 MUCH better than this. In fact I don’t see why it was even delayed ,its just sooo…simple.

In fact if this was called something other than Final Fantasy it would of gotten all 6’s or C’s at the most. But you know those fanboy reviewers ,my thing is this,if it sucks ,it sucks i dont care what the franchise is.

I’m actually thinking the opposite. I’m about 5 hours in and I think the character development and direction has been awesome. I think because it’s a final fantasy game that’s not like previous final fantasy games it’s getting low review scores.

Eric – Sure dude, I have a board you can use. That’s cool on the sale!

I don’t really know enough about the mechanics of these machines to help you on the power supply :frowning: My guy who does repairs will come out and diagnose/fix for $50, unless it’s some uber serious problem that will need more time or a return trip. If you know the power supply is bad and can give him some info, he might be able to just replace it in one visit.

I think FF13 is getting low review scores is because of what reviews say about it being boring, linear, and giving you less control over an RPG world in an age where other game series are giving you more and more

People need to put that shit down and give Yakuza a chance.

If you can find Yakuza 3 lol. As for FFXIII, 5hrs?OK how about 20+hrs sorry but it is mediocre. The only thing worth anything in this game is the battle system. Also @ 5 hrs in there isn’t much development within the characters as you don’t learn shit about them until very late, and Vanille? Man talk about skeletons…that bitch got a graveyard, she and someone else.

Character development =/= background information.

I’m starting to dig FFXIII after playing it yesterday morning. Mostly because I figured out how to essentially roman cancel the cooldown of your last move in the ATB combo. basically you just perform a job switch on the warmup of the last move. The move still comes out and you’ll instantly start gaining ATB even though the move is still in it’s cool down phase before you would start gaining ATB normally. The trick is learning what jobs to switch into so the game doesn’t down rate your constant switching and you can still recharge your TP. (Won’t get into it here).

I’m not sure if I still want to call this game a bad game or good. After all the majority of good games I’ve played only get good after an extensive amount of time playing as well as they are only good on accident. Quake, Street Fighter, and StarCraft being the obvious examples. The designers had no intention of mechanics like spawn timing, cross ups, and econ management; but they are the components which make those games great.

Thats why as I said before the battle system is sweet. The story (now @24 hrs) just isnt good. No antagonists , no nothing just fighting a bunch of Military characters and Monsters. No one can name one JRPG that @ 23 hrs in has no antagonist ,even if said person isn’t the main “badguy” of the game (which in most cases,99.9% to be exact he or she isnt). Now i’m at a point where someone is introduced BUT you fght the fool (and kill) right away. Oh and as far as character development, they are all pretty much the same JRPG characters we have seen for a couple of decades. Bitch with attitude (for no reason may I add), jipper annoying young female, comic relief/later want to be serious,young fool hwo thinks he can kick everyones ass ,young emo (although I can understand why) kid.

Guess I was just expecting more out of a FF game, damn me to hell i guess.

Man, that MI RULZ thread is still going strong with IN/OH people arguing with MI. http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=223196&page=5

Almost worth it to make some joke accounts and hit that bee’s hive some more

comedic genius

Cool, how do I get in touch with your guy?

I not sure what they was doing in here but they got some crazy shit going on in this wiring.
